The Honest Truth Is... - by Trinity Grange

long distance relationships; do they work

How exactly do you conduct a long distance relationship? Does it just exist on fleeting meetings, tender phone calls, emails and hard work? Because so far for me that is what it has been. My new relationship with a man who resides in another state has prompted me to really consider this question, carefully as someone who has a vested interest.
The whole thing is a new experience for me. It is nothing at all like commencing a new relationship with someone when they live nearby. You know usually you kind of spend maybe 2 or 3 days a week at either their place or yours, doing a mixture of things from both of your lives prior to meeting. Discovering and enjoying leisurely getting to see the picture of their life and how well or not it melds to yours.

Enter distance and this unfortunately means these experiences either don’t happen or have to be rushed in the fleeting time together. I have serious questions as to whether the getting to know one another can be done through emails and phone calls. Sure dreams and hopes can be shared etc; those are the things that are actually easier done and said without one on one pressure. Writing them down and telling someone how you feel is two completely different things

I want a love like that!

The honest truth is... I want a love like that. You know the kind of love from a man where he loves you so much he just wants to look at you all the time. A love where no matter how ugly I can sometimes be on the inside and the outside, he still loves me. A love where he feels his whole world could crumble if he doesn’t have me in his life. One where he will fight for me in every sense of the word because he loves me so much that he believes in me. All the time. One where he really does believe that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. It seems that I don’t want much…Not!
It’s not just with a man that I want that kind of love. I want that kind of love from my family too. Well obviously I don’t want my sister to love me so much she wants to look at me all the time, but it certainly would be nice if she loved me enough to still want to see me every now and then! I would however, love a Mum that feels as though her whole world will crumble if I’m not in it and a Dad who would fight for me in every sense of the word because he loves me so much that he believes in me. All the time.
I definitely feel that that in a real family I would still be loved no matter how ugly on the inside and outside I can sometimes be. But that is just not the case in my crappy life. In my world these are all unrealistic and just wishful thinking

money makes the world go around

Money is the root of all evil, but it is also the root of all happiness. To take a favourite expression from my best friend Daz, 'no fun vouchers;no fun!' Fun vouchers is really what money is. Without it, you really aren't going to have any fun, in fact you will suffer. As a single mother I know this only to well. For my son and I every single day is a struggle.
Whilst we live in a great country where we fortunately have never gone without food, our ability to stay housed has, often been some what thwarted by lack of money. My ability to provide for my son,a place that he can call home is the singular most important job that I have, as a parent. The rental merry go round that we have been on for the most part of his eleven years, has made it quite hard for him to call any one of the many homes we have lived in, home.
Home ownership is something that I have aspired to for a long time, but seems to remain out of my grasp. My mother and father were working class and lived in commission homes their whole lives, never owning their own home. I want better than that for my son. I would like to know that even when I die he will have a roof over his head. It will mean a massive head start for him if he can stay put. I know this from experience, and definately one that I could have lived without! However, even though I work, I still cannot seem to get ahead enough to gain approval for a home loan. So I re-educated myself and recently finished two degrees, in the hope that my earnings will eventually increase dramatically enough to make me a good risk, even by myself with a dependent

Acceptable behaviour is dead.

Ask anybody if they know the meaning of acceptable, and almost all will say they do. Press them further for a definition and the replies will very quickly show you that the answer is really not as simple as a standard definition. Really the context of the question needs to be clarified, as the word acceptable on its own, is only the narrative means of conveying that something is worthy of a favourable opinion. If you couple it with another word such as behaviour, it is a lot harder to clarify an exact definition, because almost everybody has a different evaluation process they use that determines their stand on the rules of acceptable behaviour.
Not only that, but it is also further complicated, because many people believe that often the situation should and does dictate the rules of acceptable behaviour.Personally I think that whilst it is the right of everybody to have their own beliefs on many things, acceptable behaviour is one thing that really should'nt be dictated by situation or personal beliefs . Unfortunately as it is those very beliefs and individual values that determines the ideals of each person on how to behave acceptably, this idea is rather unrealistic. Simply because in this modern and free world, individuality has been fostered to a point where right and wrong are only right or wrong depending on where you look at it from.
Clearly this is the consequence of discarding the successful concept that a group of people living together in the same world, often striving for the same things, come together creating a society. It means that people who live in the community, are able to work together, kind of like a large unrelated family, to create a social infrastructure that will form a set of social laws, based on the opinion and sound arguments of members of that society. A universal set of principles dictates the moral standpoints of a society and in turn, its individuals and their beliefs and values

The Great Water Debate

Today the great debate reached new heights with our PM Johnny conceding that perhaps the other states had better follow the lead of Queensland, and look to recycled water. Perhaps? I think so, considering the dismal state our water supplies are in! I mean are we out of our freaking minds to REJECT an option to create more water? I most certainly think that we are.
Clearly our climate is changing, and instead of spending money on debating why that is, we should just accept that it has, and spend the money on a solution instead of looking for a reason ( that is if the possibility of losing our rights to consume water freely, not because of the cost, but because it just does not exist, thereby severely restricting our current freedom of water usage is not reason enough).
Obviously drastic action is needed, yet we as a nation are dragging our feet. Look around you fellow Australians and see the parched state our fair country is in. It is not going to get any better unless we happen to have rain for something ridiculous like 100 days straight, which by the way, the Bureau of Meteorology thinks is highly unlikely to occur
